I am getting ready to put a Holly 4 barrel on my '56 272, bone stock. Has a manual 3 speed and 3:78 gears. Holly recommends a 570 CFM. I was thinking of a 390 or 450. Seems the 450 is for dual 4 barrels and doesn't have a choke. The 390 is more expensive than some. On my 2 barrel now the linkage goes to the right side of the carb and pull back at the bottom of the linkage. Does any 4 barrels work that way and if not other than riggin' something from the right side what's the options? I want a brand new carb out of the box, no messing with it. Plug & play! Thanks ..
